Warm week breaks multiple temperature records for Calgary

While we may not have broken any records for hottest days this week — even though we have been enjoying the sunshine we’ve been seeing lately — the past few days have actually been some of the warmest on record.

“Warmest” here meaning least cold… in that the minimum temperature has been higher than the minimum temperatures in years past on the same day.

May 7 saw a low of 9.1°C, which was the warmest low since records began back in 1885, according to the weather historians with Twitter account YYC Weather Records.
